Back when I was a kid in the 1960s, the river was not fit to eat from.I' m so very happy it has been cleaned up.

John, let me give you a couple of tips on your filleting and cooking your fish. Keep doing it the same way you just did!!!!! Perfect!!! I bet Sauger taste just like Walleye. And you can't get any better than that. Thanks for the video. Enjoy All of them.

Those look like really big sardines. I love fish. Especially Cappie. Thanks for showing us how to fillet a fish. My family never fillet anything. Just cut the head off, scaled it (or skinned it, if catfish) and fried it. Which means we had to pick through the bones ourselves. lol

I am a newer Sub after finding your channel a little while back... you do good work and I love your videos. I even enjoy your comment section and find it funny people hate about harvesting game. You can tell they have such a limited exposer to life..."don't make it suffer!!" If people only knew how those chicken nuggets they enjoy come to be....

John, look at that nice long green grass you have already! We just got a major snowstorm up here in southern NH yesterday, about 18" of snow. Enjoying watching your outdoors vids again, so ready for our spring to arrive.

This is a really great video. As a housewife all I have ever known is how to go to a store and buy a package of fish. You just taught me something I have always wanted to know...a necessary skill for all...thanks

When My Grandfather toured the Jack Daniel's Distillery he asked about the ducks pooping in the pond out front. The tour guide said "That's secret flavoring".

Very nice video on cleaning, and pan frying the fresh caught fish for a meal! You do a great job. God bless your family

Sir you are killing me with the amount of deliciousness you are putting here on KZread. I keep all parts of the frog since I seen your video and I'm spreading the word to help people utilize the entire animal.

Regular Dude love the vids, hope they keep coming. Its nice to see another regular dude just doing it (life) and make entertaining vids at the same time. Thanks

You're an awesome dude! Been subscribed for over a year and I watch every video you post. Keep up the good stuff!

Great show and tell us how you reuse the scraps. Loved this. I bet it was fun too catching them.

Enjoyed the video Dude. It's a big river. Looks tasty John.

It's fun watching your videos, you have such a chill disposition.

I just found this channel and I’m obsessed best personalities ever very informative love this channel

Love your channel brother... God bless a man who can teach himself to fish..

Thanks for the great video - I love your sense of humor! literally lol. and now you have me hungry...

What a nice and positive man you are, jnullo!

Been watching you for about a year now. Was unable to comment before had to create a new account. But love watching you, even just hearing you chat is a pleasure. Coffee chat is my favorite. Im in Northern Vermont about 1/4 mile from thr Canadian border and were right in the middle of maple syrup right now and expecting a snow storm tonight.

I am in NH and that snowstorm was a doozy. After a very mild Feb. my yard was almost clear of snow and i could open my barn door - now it is mid winter again after 18in of wind driven snow. My dog is unhappy because he loves playing Frisbee, but the snow makes it really tough. Oh well - winter sports...

Don't worry about the negative remarks people make man. You're living the dream out there. Keep it up!

I love it how have a disclaimer to start to start every project i'm just a regular dude , then you tell us more about it than anyone else.Butttt I never get invited to the fish fry. great video. greetings from snowy Michigan

I think you did an excellent job of filleting. Looked pretty doggone efficient, better than I would have done

Haha too funny!! Good video dude and man I could taste that sauger from home lol. Keep them coming RDF and tight lines.

Yum...love fresh fish and this looks very good. Thanks. (:

That looks like a good way to fix fish . We will have to try it. Thanks and God Bless

I've been waiting for this video thanks John 👍

Fish scraps are great garden fertilizer. I use fish scraps in my garden and my tomatoes and green beans go nuts! But if you have cats around.... The cats will eat well.

For a little zing, I like to put a little yellow mustard on them and then dip them in the corn meal mixture. Maybe add a little lowrys season salt to it too.

every state has a webpage for the local (state) DNR or EPA . They will have a section that you can search for called "Safe to Eat" it will list the waterways and lakes streams and list any hazards that might be there. Here they list Mercury and limit the fish to one meal a week or some such in some rivers and lakes and in others it has no restrictions at all

Man, that looks good! We do our fish the same way (except for trout...we leave them whole). Think I'll walk down to the Susquehanna and get me some channel cats tonight.

Another good one John!!

You do a fine job filleting them fish. I try to save some meat from behind the ribs, but its probably more trouble than its worth. Love your videos. Keep em coming.

Love the videos brother. I'm newer to your channel and have subscribed. I 'd love to make it down to the Ohio River sometime and catch some huge catfish. I live off in northern Michigan and the biggest catfish that we get up around here are roughly 10 lb to 15 lb. Anyway from a fellow brother and fishing I just wanted to say really enjoying your videos. God bless you

big old boy feeding his family. go to it brother. love sauger

Deader than 4:00 o'clock. That's good. :) Godspeed.

Hey Man was that fish DEAD ??? LoL ! Great Video My Friend

Great video. however the bad thing about it was the fact I wasn't there to help you fish or eat. LOL Blessings to you and your family

Nice ! love fish ! I make frys with that!

Sauger, never heard of this fish before, then again I was raised out West, in Utah, and lookin' at the ladies go for the fish carcasses! Nothing goes to waste on the homestead, amen to that, and kudos to ya John on using lard, truth has it, lard, butter, bacon grease is way more healthier for us than those new-fangled veggie oils and shortenings, just a bad rap given the former back in the 60s by who, Anderson Clayton and others who stood to gain $ on selling their products.

I don't think they are.. they're predators with sharp teeth and are more active at night.

I see, the fresh water version of sharks, in years past, fishmongers here would bring in sharks but frankly i'm sticking to tilapia and catfish, I realize that most fish are agressive but to eat an outright predator.....

T love watching your video's keep up the good work

Haven't used corn meal but have used instance mash potatoes works quite well nice video man here in Manitoba I love eating those things

I think lard is as healthy or even more healthy that the oils in bottles and as long as it's not too old it's much tastier.

Nice video! I only got one saugeye up here yesterday lol

Good Stuff, I really like hearing you have no issues or anything from eating fish from the Ohio River, i have drank water from the river, , and slow far i m live nuff to be a godt typerist.Great Vid on fileting too, you do better than me, , so stop saying you are not expert, cause if you were you would be making real money doing it

Looks good. Never have eaten a sauger. My grandma never fried in anything but lard. Lard gets a bad rap. Thanks for the video.

l enjoy all your videos very much!

You're in Ohio, right ? Dang - up here in North Central Ohio it's snowing and friggid cold :( :( You have some filet skills there !!! Years ago my ex and a buddy used to go croppy fishing not far from here - when he was fileting them, my daughter would play with the eyes lol

Lol...I love you and your bideos !!

Yummy! Your making me hungry!

I like your video man!!

Good video loved it

That's some good country living ❤️❤️❤️

too funny. good info never heard of that first before.

You made the filleting look easy ! Wish it went that smooth when we do it here

I am all ready to go fishing.. except for the 12 degrees snow and ice I think I am at the wrong end of Ohio

Ha here's some crap!...lol Dude you are awesome love watching! 😀 💥 👍🏼 ❤️ 🇺🇸

That looks good, I'm just a dude , that likes the way you do things

Good job brother !

love the humour

😂😂😂 Great Video I've never caught one or ate one. Hopefully this year I can achieve that

I'm not a fish monger either! Not experienced enuff filleting. I still scale my fish or skin the catfish. Hope your symptoms improve from eating fish from the Ohio River! There a video of you and Wayne fishing with the doughballs? Nice videos. Tweet tweet the end! :)

great vid!

LARD IS GOOD!!!! Say it with me "LARD IS GOOD!!!!!" Great video

Thanks man for good advice

You can fillet a fish Sir. I have cleaned whitebass when i was a kid. For all the Illinois people who came up to my Uncles Resort. I filleted 1000's and i mean 1000's of fish. We sure made money as kids. Whitebass have no limit & i think you guys call them hybrids ?? and are much larger. Are spawn easy and grow fast. They are Schooling fish. Called a fish of ten casts. If you do not get one in ten casts" Move...........

GREAT VIDEO

Lookin good.

Yum!

sauger is a great fish,my wife landed a nice one last fall .

hell yea j looks rite tasti and lol at you!!

You got it nailed :)

Hay , man do things your way,i eat catfish from the ohio river back in 1967, i'm still here, i think lol !!!!!

I thought that was a sweet job of filleting those fish... I learned alot

Fish tenders ~ yum!

idk if you already know but you may but when you catch alot of fish and gotta get them cleaned fast like i catch 20+ crappie try using an electronic nife to filet them when ur in a rush its much faster u filet them same way

good eating dude

Everything tastes good in lard!!!!😀

Better than I can fillet lol

I do my fish frying outside...because the house smell like fish fry for a week! Good eats there John.....

Lard rules!!!!

Thank you for teaching me a new skill! I am guessing you already gutted them. I know that might gross some folks out but do you have a tutorial on how to do this? More stuff for me to learn!

Yummy!

Me and some friends go fishing and turtle jugging every summer there's nothing like fresh fish and turtle

Looks like you know your way around cleaning fish.

your doing it all wrong! lol cool video John thanks

One question, why no egg batter?

I never see you cooking rabbit. Do you only raise them to sell? By the way great video. I have never caught one down river this far. We don't have Walleye here in Brown county either.

You kick ass!!

very good and use of waste as positive feed for chick/hogs and last to compost.

👍

It's my understanding the older and large fish that are to tough to eat,are the ones that have absorbed the river waste and possibly have a greater chance of contamination. The younger fish up to around five pounds not so much. Now if it has more than two eyes, ears, or noses...well your on your own. I'll put my flame suit on now. :)

are these related to waleye? we aint got sauger down here.

Exactly the way I was taught ... you shoulda seen how bad I mangled a fish before I was shown the way you are doing it.

Nothing wrong with your fillet skills thumbs in the highest position.

is the Sauger similar to haddock - taste/texture wise?

Pig fat,lard and beef drippin are the healthiest fats in the world and very good for you. ..💪

Some eat out of the ohio here in Louisville buuuuut, most would not lol. Too many lakes and ponds and streams around to eat out of the ohio. it all depends on what part of the ohio too

you remind me of my buddy jon up in the u.p.

Are the fish biting yet up.at greenup
